Thought it was a gallon on most cars, sometimes two. So whatever your MPG is, that's how many miles are left

around 40miles in most cars, fuel amount is depends on the car ect
this is due to motorway service stations being 30miles apart or some thing like that

in my old Vectra, the fuel light came on, then when it was really low the fuel light would flash. Ive drove about 10-15 miles with it flashing and would fill up to 69 litres, Which used to piss me off, because when i got the car new, the first time I filled it up I put 73 litres in it!
Which means I dont trust the fuel lights anymore

Couldn't tell you with the Civic tbh. Soon as I'm in the red I'm away to get fuel, and even then if I boot it I nearly go through the windscreen sometimes with a fuel cut
